  1. As I understand, one needs a "XZN" or "triple square" socket wrench to remove the Cayenne steering wheel bolt - does anyone know what size? I don't have these wrenches in my collection, and am only planning to purchase the one specific wrench for this project. Please help! _____________________________ BTW - here are the steps, in case anyone else is looking to do the same: Step 1 - Disconnect Battery Leave your key in the ignition after turning the car off. Access the battery under the driver seat and un-seat the ground cable(instructions in the manual). Wait at least a minute after power's off, according to the tech. manual, to be safe to unhook the air bag. Step 2 - Removing Airbag module. In the back of the existing steering wheel there are access ports or holes near the base of each horizontal spoke. You can feel it on the back of the wheel hub if you turn the steering wheel 90 degrees so the spoke points up. Insert a short thin flat screwdriver into the port on the back almost at a 45 degree angle down. Engage wire clip and lever it down very firmly to disengage; rotate wheel and repeat behind other spoke. you'll feel the air bag(top) release when you catch the clip right. Tug gently but firmly on the top edge of the AB unit until it rotates part way out. Disconnect wire harness and it's off. Step 3 - Removing the Wheel You need a "XZN" or "triple square" socket wrench to remove the wheel bolt. These look like the Torx wrench but with more tines(12). Remove center bolt, take off old wheel, put on new & replace bolt. The airbag then is replugged to the wire harness, lined up and reattached at the bottom first then rotated toward the top. It takes some effort to re- engage the clips at the top of the airbag...you intermittently push on the airbag with the left then right hand and test for attachment by tugging on the top edge. Power up and you're done!!
